Book Description
The imagined land of Eem is home to an awkward Orser named Apt, who isn't, and a host of outrageous and nonsensical characters. Our story begins as Apt makes a spectacular blunder (on purpose) and falls headlong into a course of strange actions. Fleeing her employer's wrath, Apt takes refuge with the Antiquarian, remembering his past kindnesses. However, the years have changed him much, and Apt cannot bear to stay. In the interest of her own survival, and with the assistance of the Antiquarian's super-sentient Cat, she 'borrows' a folio of arcane secrets. Promising to return it, Apt escapes to the local catacombs. Upon emerging, transformed, Apt will head to the local public house and encounter the Poet. With this romantic young man, she will make various discoveries, among them that she is at the center of a search for the broken Harp of Don Juana Lucia, an ancient instrument that possesses the power to heal all who hear it and assures its owner of fame and glory. But a shadowy villain, also hunting the Harp for his own wicked ends, watches from the wings and waits for the perfect moment to strike... A lyrical classic, this galloping adventure will charm and bemuse readers of all ages.
